Seven deadly SINS of speaking. Let’s all try to avoid them!
- Gossip
- Judging
- Negativity
- Complaining
- Excuses
- Exaggeration/ lying
- Dogmatism

Four elements which will improve the speech to be more powerful and important for the audience:
- Honesty = being true to what you say, being straight and clear
- Authenticity = just being yourself
- Integrity = being your word,actually doing what you say, and being somebody people can trust
- Love = wishing people well

Six tools which will increase the power of speaking if used in the right way:
- Register – speak with deep lower voice if you want to project power and with authority;
- Timbre – the way the voice feels (people prefer voices which are rich, smooth and warm);
- Prosody – the patterns of stress and intonation in speaking;
- Pace – how quickly we speak;
- Pitch – high or low
- Volume –
